Merry Christmas from BRBTV!!!

We here at BRBTV see a world where good things happen. A world where peace can prevail, amid the turmoil. Where even warring factions backbiting at each other can come together to accomplish great things. Where the human spirit seeks joy and kindness and good things, when it comes right down to it. Are we dreaming? Are we being cynical? No, not at all. That's the world we live in, and the shot below, supplied by our friend Bjørn, expresses that so nicely!

You see, even at the Carrington mansion, between these warring factions, peace and joy and the holiday spirit can prevail!!!



Merry Christmas from BRBTV!!

TGIF! How about some action figure love? This time, it's all sorts of Super Friends ...

With ole Supes perched on top, it's looking like an amazing collection. And Will Rodgers, author of the BRBTV book "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion," has been compiling Super Friends figures from both Mego and Figures Toy Company for the past few years. Good for him that these companies keep releasing great stuff like this! Keep up with Will on his Facebook pages for the two-volume book set and for the great onetime era of Saturday-morning cartoons.

Terrific non-TV Toys: Snoopy figurines by Enesco

It's Christmastime again, and we love a Christmas episode here at BRBTV. For the 12th and final episode of the very first season of the Terrific non-TV Toys web series, it's gotta be Snoopy. This author got these two porcelain figurines as a gift from Cuz Don last year for Christmas, and you'll see them come out of the box for this episode. One has Snoopy harnessed up and ready to pull a sled, while the other has him all wrapped up in old-fashioned Christmas lights. Nicely detailed, these are fine collectibles.

Well, somebody is certainly a "Dukes of Hazzard" fan

There is a Hazard, Kentucky, spelled just a bit differently than on the classic TV show we all know and love. And there's bound to be plenty of diehard "Dukes of Hazzard" fans there in the state, especially given this amusing site, spotted in Glendale, Kentucky, earlier this week. Thanks to our roving reporter Jason for capturing this on the road!

Terrific TV Toys: Batgirl PVC diorama and production cel from "The New Batman Adventures"

In the "Holiday Knights" episode of "The New Batman Adventures" animated series, you see some fun stuff. You see Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy kidnapping and drugging poor Bruce Wayne so they can go on a shopping spree at a department store in Gotham a few days before Christmas. And you see Clayface rampaging through a different department store a couple days later, on Christmas Eve. But fear not -- Batgirl arrives on the scene. She jumps on that nasty ole Clayface, throws him around a bit, tells everyone to clear the area. It's two of those wonderful moments that are captured in the pieces you see on the latest episode of Terrific TV Toys.

The PVC diorama just came out last year and is part of a set by Diamond Select Toys, a set featuring a variety of characters in the Timmverse from which "TNBA" sprung. The diorama goes for about $45. THEN ... the crème de la crème ... an original production cel used in the shooting of that episode back in 1997, all nicely framed and matted and for sale in the gallery of a Warner Bros. Studio Store back then. Original price for that was about $500, and these cels can go for a few hundred more than that now. Nice stuff ...

This time at Autorama Detroit, the Bandit jumps!

It was great to see Ray Kohn and the Northeast Ohio Dukes crew at the Hazzard County Christmas in Corunna, Michigan a week and a half ago, and we just had to ask him about the rumors we heard, that as a follow-up to his amazing jump of the General Lee in downtown Detroit two years ago at Autorama, this time it was going to be a "Smokey and the Bandit" car. Yep, indeed. It was Ray's idea to do this, after the sad passing of Burt Reynolds a couple months back. A special tribute to the star beloved by so many fans ...



The 2019 Autorama in Detroit is on March 1-3. Watch the NEOD Facebook page and the event website for more details. We'll see ya there!
